Medical Malpractice


Medical Malpractice can occur during a doctor’s office visit, hospital stay or even a routine surgery because of a medical professional’s negligence or failure to adhere to the accepted standard of care. This can lead to moderate, severe or permanent injury as well as wrongful death.


Typical Medical Malpractice cases involve matters such as:


  1. Birth Injuries, such as cerebral palsy, hypoxia and shoulder dystocia caused by mistakes such as delayed delivery, failure to perform a Caesarean section (C-section), failure to monitor properly and failure to use forceps correctly.

  2. Surgical Errors, such as operating on the wrong body part, leaving surgical instruments and sponges in an incision and post-surgical infection.

  3. Anesthesia Mistakes, including failure to maintain adequate blood pressure, failure to determine allergies before administration and anesthesia overdose.

  4. Physician Errors, such as failure to diagnose, failure to order appropriate tests or failure to prescribe the correct medication.


After experiencing medical errors such as these, you or a loved one may be severely injured and require long-term care. You may also be grieving due to the loss and unfairness of a wrongful death. While I cannot correct the damage done, I can guarantee that I will work as hard as possible to obtain the funds you deserve while coping with your changed circumstances and trying to live life to its fullest capacity.
